Golden Parachute for Christmas Lyrics:

Verse:
Don't steal 'cause the government don't need the competition
They bail themselves out, but who's gonna bail out me?
Our ship is sinking, first save the rich, the powerful
You just can't get on the life raft for free

Chorus:

I lost my home, I'm bankrupt bound
Ain't no golden parachute for Christmas
As I hit the ground

Verse 2:

I signed a toxic loan then the bubble burst in my face
(Toss me a lifeline)
I tried to sell, but it was too late
(Toss me a lifeline)
Even my short sale got lost in the red tape
(Toss me a lifeline)
Now the bank owns my home my very soul

Chorus:

I lost my home, I'm bankrupt bound
Ain't no golden parachute for Christmas
As I hit the ground

Bridge:

It's a no down, low down ruin your life offer
For you, for me, by our greed economy

Threw away my lifeline, our greedy economy
Threw away a dream of a lifetime, our greedy economy
Threw away my lifeline, our greedy economy
Threw away my dream of a lifetime, our greedy economy

I lost my house today

Best video out there. It really puts everything in nut-shell as to what has been going on for the past 8yrs. POWERFULL!

[sropera]

Nice work on this very poignant song. Very nice job---Keep em coming!!!

[pasofinomama]

Sure the banks can beg for a bailout then use one hand to take the taxpayers money and the other to give big bonuses to shady executives. CREEEEEEEPS! No faith in the government!

[wyrotubia]

Your songwriting hand has touched the pulse of America. Too bad it's such a dreary situation. Keep on sticking it to the man!

Good song and video.

Illuminates the dilemma of our time - you can't screw your house but your house can screw you.
